A Testastretta DVT (Desmodromic Variable Timing) 1,262 cc, L-twin cylinder engine churning out 156 BHP @ 9,500 rpm and a peak torque of 129.5 Nm @ 7,500 rpm powers the bike.

Riding Modes, cruise control, Ducati Wheelie Control (DWC), Vehicle Hold Control (VHC), LED headlights with cornering lights, Ducati Multimedia System (DMS) and a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster are some of the unique features of the Multistrada beauty.

The launch of this version of the Multistrada has been announced just after the renowned Ducati racer Carlin Dunne led the 2018 Spider Grips Ducati Pikes Peak team to reclaim the crown as King of the Mountains. “We did it. We took the podium,” said Dunne, the first motorcyclist ever to traverse the 4,720-foot Pikes Peak race course in a record time back in 2012. “The Multistrada 1260 Pikes Peak proved as amazing as we all hoped. It performed flawlessly, giving me everything I needed to get up the mountain. Pikes Peak is never an easy race, but the weather cooperated and we clinched the victory for Ducati,” he further added.
